Valved Exhaust - BENDA Napoleon 500 / Chinchilla 500

Central valved dual-outlet exhaust – BENDA 450/500CC

Sound modulation, bold style and efficiency for Napoleon 500 and Chinchilla 500

Designed specifically for 500-class roadsters and cruisers, this central valved exhaust transforms your Napoleon 500 or Chinchilla 500. Its dual outlet on the right side and integrated valve let you instantly adjust the soundtrack : more muted for daily rides, deeper and more characterful for getaways.

The compact, centrally mounted design optimizes gas flow and thermal management, while clearing the lower engine line for a cleaner look. Built from stainless steel with a high-temperature black coating, it withstands intense conditions and keeps its look over time. The result : a balanced blend of style, performance and versatility.

Whether you’re after fuller torque at low and midrange, a crisper throttle response, or simply a deeper, tunable tone, this exhaust brings a real upgrade for daily use and long-distance rides. It integrates seamlessly with these 500 models and elevates their bobber/cruiser DNA.

Why upgrade the stock part?

OEM exhaust systems are often designed to meet a wide range of constraints : cost, regulations and quiet operation above all. On a 500 cc twin, this can mean a bulky muffler, high weight and a very subdued sound that mutes character.

• Over‑muted tone that hides the twin’s natural timbre

• Bulky packaging and an understated look

• Significant weight and less‑than‑ideal heat management

• Choked feeling when rolling on the throttle

Thanks to its central layout and regulating valve, this exhaust frees up the engine’s breathing, sharpens low‑ and midrange response and lets you choose your sound level. The dual outlet and black finish elevate the style while offering better resistance to heat and the elements.

Ideal use:

• Urban and suburban rides with a tempered tone (valve partially closed)

• Weekend rides and road trips with a more present timbre (valve more open)

• Bobber/cruiser builds favoring a clean line and dark look

• Riders looking to personalize the character of their 500 without sacrificing versatility

• Fans of fine tuning between daily comfort and mechanical expression
